PHAkt2 MX has a lot of improvements over the original PHP_MySQL server model of Macromedia Dreamweaver MX:
- Support for multiple databases in a transparent way
- Support for MySQL, PostgreSQL and MsSQL date locales
- User Authentication Server Behaviors
- Master/Detail Server Behaviors
- Go to detail Page Server behaviors
- Improved code generation (all reusable code is kept in a file functions.inc.php)
- Multiple and extensible recordset support.
- IIS and Apache 2 support by using absolute redirects.
PHAkt2 is released as GPL, and you can use it for any commercial or non-commercial website.
Current stable version for Dreamweaver MX and MX 2004:
PC and MAC version - 2.8.3
MAC users see the MAC Patch notes.
Using ADOdb as the database connection layer, it allows a transparent connection to over 13 database servers, thus presenting a great flexibility to the developer. ADOdb supports MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, Sybase SQL Anywhere, Informix, PostgreSQL, FrontBase, Interbase (Firebird and Borland variants), Foxpro, Access, ADO and ODBC.
PHAkt license is GPL, because we want to share it with the open source community (we are using in production environments other GPLed softwares and we are very pleased of them)
We've invested a lot of passion, nights and work hours in PHAkt. We hope it will help you develop sites better.
You can also create dynamic websites better by using our commercial products available in the InterAKT store.

PHAkt 1 information
PHAkt 1.5.0 had some locale problems. All user are requested to download the 1.5.1 release.
PHAkt and ImpAKT are merged in a single server model for Macromedia Ultradev 4. This decision was made because all the extension developers (including us) were forced to develop extensions for too many server models.
PHAkt users can easily convert their existing sites to ImpAKT using PHAkt2ImpAKT, the migration engine based on XME.
Obsolete version (for Ultradev 4): 1.5.1.
